How Carmen’s approaches work in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match your values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and feeling uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is commonly used for worry, panic, depression and sleep or eating concerns. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how past relationships shape current connection patterns and can help with intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the work. Carmen will talk with you about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust them if needed as therapy progresses.
The original profile lists phone, video and instant chat as communication options, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by removing travel time. Phone or chat can be shorter check-ins when bandwidth or camera use is difficult, while video lets you use visual cues during conversations. Ask during the matching step which formats and session lengths will work for your schedule.
